    I received this Christy Safety Razor in a lot on May 29, 2018. It set silent until I ran across it today. While visiting @Redfisher, he showed me his Christy and said that it would take a Schick injector blade. With that information, I cleaned up the Christy. I will probably take it for a spin soon.

    Nice razor Jim. That blade looks a tad askew!

    Good luck, I never have been able to get my Christy razors to hold the blade secure enough.

    Wow, that cleaned up really well! I’ll be interested to read how it shaves.

    You just need to bend the blade holder a little bit so it is tighter.
